On August 6, 2025, the Appellate Division, Second Department, sided with Gallagher and its affiliates – Gallagher Bassett Services and Risk Management Planning Group – in a dispute that’s been ongoing since 2017. New York Bus Operators Compensation Trust (NYBOCT) accused these insurance professionals of mishandling a workers’ compensation claim, which NYBOCT said led its excess insurer, American Home Assurance Co., to deny coverage and left the trust facing significant costs.
